Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial


I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!  

Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video: 

I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card.  The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper. 

I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color. 

More Details:

  • I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture! 
  • Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer.  This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper. 
  • I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

  • Opt in for my Card stock shares


    I have cardstock share's happening this month. We used to have these in the mini catalogs but they stopped offering them so I now offer them to my customers on occasion.  

    Here's how it works.  Instead of getting 24 sheets of 1 color in a package (like the catalog offers), I provide 6 sheets each of 4 different colors. It's a great way to get a nice sampling of our card stock.

    These colors coordinate with the new Designer Papers in the Spring catalog. 

    1. Wildflower Birthday – 6 sheets each of Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam

    2. Floral Delight – 6 sheets each of Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly & Old Olive

    3. Beautiful Bokeh – 6 sheets each of Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral

    4. Friends of the Ocean – 6 sheets each of Pumpkin Pie, Summer Splash, Melon Mambo & Lemon Lime Twist

    5. Storybook Moments – 6 sheets each of Mossy Meadow, Boho Blue, Basic Beige & Pebbled Path

    6. Timeless Plaid – 6 sheets each of Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Calypso Coral & Wild Wheat

    *If you'd like any of these let me know.  I'll figure postage once you tell me how many shares you'd like and provide your zip code as well.  Email me here for a quote. 

    These shares will be offered for just a few weeks; so contact me soon.

  • Lots of product displays from my New Catalog Launch party!


    I held my New Catalog launch party on Saturday and today I'm sharing some of the displays I had for my customers. It was a cold day here but I still had a decent turnout. I wish I had taken photos of the food but I forgot. 

    This table above is my Sale-a-Bration display. I laid out the many products and projects I had to show what can be done with this year's Sale-a-Bration items.  

    This next view of of this same table. 

    Next is 3 boards featuring products from the 2025 Spring catalog. 

    Most of these were received from swapping with my stamping friends. 

    From left to right, this board features the Friends of the Ocean suite, center is the With you in Mind stamp set, upper middle is the Darling Dino, upper left is the Terrific Toadstools, lower right is the Floral Delight& Darling Wishes. 

    This next board features the Memorable Blooms on the lower left, the Wildflower Birthday at the top and the To the Point punch projects on the lower right. 

    This final board features the One More Year on the top left, Storybook Moments on the lower left, the Linked Together at the upper right and the Beautiful Butterflies on the lower right.

  • Terrific Toadstools fancy fold card


    Today I'm sharing a fabulous fancy fold card Lori made for our Team Sale-a-Bration card swap.  She used the Terrific Toadstools bundle. 

    It's a little deceptive but it is a fun fold card; one I haven't seen before too!  Her colors include Melon Mambo, Fresh Freesia, Early Espresso and Granny Apple Green.

    The Terrific Toadstools bundle from the Spring catalog coordinates with the Toadstool Gardens DSP from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. This DSP is free with any $60 purchase from Stampin' Up. 

    She used a bunch of NEW products; here's the list:

    • Terrific Toadstool bundle seen here
    • Toadstool Gardens 6 X 6" DSP from the  Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here
    • Spotlight on Nature dies seen here
    • Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon (SAB catalog) seen here
    • Starstruck embossing folder on the upper flap (SAB catalog) seen here

     

    Below you can see the gatefold and the cute flap that folds down over the front.  She created an amazing card showcasing a ton of new products here! See measurements below. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each side
    • DSP – 1 7/8" X 5 3/8" for front and inside
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • upper strip for flap 1" X 3" scored at 2"

    I'll share more team Sale-a-Bration swaps next week.
